So gonna start trimix pretty quick here and I have my own blending setup, Helium is getting harder and harder to source here so I set up an account with my business and ordered 3 T bottles of helium.

what’s everyone recommend for trimix analyzer??
Keep in mind I’m in Canada so exchange rates is 35%
 
I agree. I have had my eye on that Divesoft Solo for a little while now.
 
Divesoft, hands down. I had a Nuvair that I sold when the Solo came out and haven’t regretted it.
 
...so I set up an account with my business and ordered 3 T bottles of helium.

Nice advantage there.
 
You can actually use the solo for both mixing and analyzing. I am happy with mine now that I have resolved the firmware upgrade process successfully.

I haven’t begun mixing trimix yet. They have this force majeure thing here preventing the purchase of he. I do use it as a backup nitrox blending monitor and to analyze nitrox fills.

The little cylindrical nub used on the analyzer could be designed better. I use a piece of tubing pressed into the inlet instead of the nub. A spherical ball like on the Analox nitrox unit would probably be better than either of those as it could be used for regular, insert, and DIN valves
 
I have the Oxycheq and it works fine. I actually like that you don't have to hold the unit up to the valve. I put a 3' hose with a DIN connector on it. I can test an entire dives worth of tanks without moving the unit.

I used a Dive Soft recently and found it a little tricky to use for He. Probably user error though.
